高等教育与科技创新——学习邓小平关于科学技术与高等教育的论述

重视科学技术在发展生产力、推进社会主义现代化建设中的关键性作用,以及教育在人力资源开发和科学技术创新中的基础性作用,是邓小平的一贯思想。邓小平认为高等教育不仅在培养科技人才方面发挥作用,而且其本身也是科技创新的重要力量。邓小平提出的尊重知识、尊重人才,扩大对外交流与合作,重视基础研究,实行教学、科研、生产相结合等思想主张,对发展高等教育,促进科技创新,推动科教兴国战略和人才强国战略的实施具有重要的启示。     

Social work with service families

Our aim in this paper is twofold. We wish to describe the work done with families referred for various problems, including child abuse, to one Area Social Services Team (Section 2). We then offer (Section 3) some comparisons to indicate the extent of the problem. The second task in subsequent sections is to use data from various sources on child abuse (Section 4), and our own information (Section 5) to suggest that Army life has inherent features exacerbating risk of child abuse. We make various conclusions, and proposals for improvement (Section 6). We draw material from the Army Welfare Inquiry Committee Report, known as the Spencer Report. 1 We would argue that the welfare of Service families requires special concern.     

均衡发展:我国义务教育发展的战略选择

新中国建立后,共和国就把提高民族素质、普及义务教育当做崇高而神圣的责任。从把义务教育作为教育工作的重中之重,到把农村义务教育作为教育工作的重中之重,再到把均衡发展作为义务教育的重中之重,是教育思想的升华、教育工作重点的转变。均衡发展是我国义务教育发展历史和现实的双重选择。在整个国家教育体系和教育战略布局中,必须始终把义务教育作为教育改革发展的重中之重,把均衡发展作为义务教育的重中之重。积极推进县(市、区)域内率先实现义务教育均衡发展,依法保证每个适龄儿童接受义务教育的基本权利和享有均等的受教育机会,着力统筹地区、城乡、学校、群体教育均衡发展,构建教育均衡发展制度机制。     

Fan culture and motivation in the context of successful women’s professional team sports: a mixed-methods case study of Portland Thorns fandom

Abstract

By the metric of average home attendance, the Portland Thorns of the National Women’s Soccer League are the most popular women’s professional sports team in the world. This paper investigates that distinct sports context through a mixed-methods case study of Thorns fandom, asking what fans themselves perceive to be salient elements of a successful fan culture for women’s professional soccer and what motivates their fandom. Drawing on survey data that are contextualized by ethnographic observations and interviews, we offer an interpretive analysis of ways Thorns fandom hybridizes elements of traditional and alternative sports fandom. Our findings highlight the emphasis Thorns fans put on quality soccer in a professional atmosphere where fans themselves create the supporters culture, along with the symbolic importance to fans of identifying with values such as gender empowerment, diversity and inclusion. We discuss ways these themes might offer and inform alternative models of sports fandom.     

Careers in aging: how job-seekers search for and how employers advertise positions in aging-related markets

Given its rapidly-aging population, the U.S. needs a workforce that is informed about and capable of meeting the diverse needs of older adults. Students pursing gerontology education may feel unsure of career opportunities as they enter a job market with traditionally clearly-defined disciplinary backgrounds. The goal of this study was to explore how people currently employed in an aging-related job searched for positions, and how this compared to phrasing used by employers to advertise job openings across several aging-related fields. A web-based survey was administered to employees in aging-related positions, and a search of four job-seeking websites to collect and analyze aging-related job postings was conducted. Most (63%) currently working in the field of aging reported finding their jobs through referral from a friend/colleague or through job search sites or job boards. Out of 493 relevant job postings identified, only 175 of the postings (35%), preferred or required applicants to have some type of aging-related knowledge, skills, training, or prior experience. There may be consequences to not specifically recruiting applicants with aging-related backgrounds: job seekers with qualifications in aging may look for other positions that expressly call for their specialized skills or knowledge, and quality of services and care may be different when provided by persons without such training.     

中国基础教育均衡发展实证分析

从区域、城乡、学校和受教育群体四个方面对于基础教育均衡度进行分析发现,近年来,我国基础教育特别是义务教育发展从整体上看正在趋向均衡。各地区基础教育的差距总体出现缩小态势,基础教育特别是义务教育入学率,各地区中小学教师合格率差距不断缩小。同时,地区间财政性教育经费以及初等教育生均教育经费和中等教育生均教育经费的绝对差异仍然在拉大;小学和初中生均预算内经费城乡差异正在随着时序变化在减小,各地区城乡中小学教师合格率差异正在逐步减小。但是,我国中小学校之间的教育投入差距还相当大;不同群体之间接受基础教育还很不均衡。造成我国基础教育发展不均衡的主要原因是由于基础教育资源配置不均衡。
